Not too sure.

Been using a Windows tablet recently, and there is a sharp line between the Win32 programs and the metro apps.

Thus you can say that a Windows tablet is a Windows desktop computer with Windows Mobile embedded.

As for the sandbox thing, i agree highly. Sadly the valley seems convinced that heavy sandboxing is the only way forward, no matter how much it infantilize the user.

Likely because the biggest proponents expect that they will always know the magic knock to get the sandbox to go away...

Yeah, didn't mean that the experience is flawless, just that it's overall better (IMHO) than what you get on the iPad Pro.
